How to clean the ears of curly-coated retrievers? Dogs’ ears need regular care. If you don’t pay attention to care, you will easily suffer from ear mites and other problems. The following editor will introduce you to the ear care process of curly-coated retrievers.

Curly Retriever Ear Care Procedure:

1. The ear canal is relatively clean. If your curly-coated retriever's earwax is not serious, it will not be difficult to clean. You can first use your hands to push aside the hair around the curly-haired retriever's ears, then pull up the auricle, dip some glycerin with a cotton swab, apply it on the curly-haired retriever's external auditory canal, and then gently massage the curly-haired retriever's ear canal with your hands. Brush the dog's entire ear to disperse the oil that has entered the curly-haired retriever's ears, and finally use a cotton swab to insert into the ear canal and wipe it clean.

2. Excessive and hard earwax. If your curly retriever's earwax is not only excessive, but also condensed into hard lumps that are difficult to clean, then disinfect the entire auricle with alcohol first, then go to the pet hospital to buy special ear drops for pets, drop them on the earwax lumps, and wait. After the earwax softens, use tweezers to gently remove the earwax. However, parents should be careful not to insert the tweezers too deep, because the dog’s ears are very delicate, so be careful when cleaning them. That’s why parents need to pay attention. And if you see the Curly Retriever struggling a little, you should take out the tweezers quickly to avoid puncturing the Curly Retriever’s eardrum.

3. There is inflammation in the ears. If your curly retriever's ears are still inflamed, it is best to go to the pet hospital to buy special anti-inflammatory ear drops and use them according to the doctor's instructions, including the dosage and usage instructions. Parents first pull up the curly retriever's ears, then drip ear drops into the ears, and then gently massage them with their hands to promote the absorption of the medicine.
